1. Introduction: 2. Midjourney Setup: 3. Midjourney Plans: 4. Midjourney Model Versions: 5. Midjourney Settings, Presets and Options: 6. Prompt Guide: In this video, we are going to discuss about the things to include in prompts on how to make sure that we get that result. When typing prompts try to be as clear as possible about any context or details that you feel are important to you. Think about subject, media, environment, lighting, color, mode, and composition. These details not only helps me journey to produce the art, but also helps in generating the desired image that exactly what you expected it to generate. Please consider pausing this video and going through the retails mentioned in the video. Or take a screenshot so you can reference and keep in mind when generating your artwork. 7. Prompt Styles: In this video, we are going to discuss about prom stands with magenta. You can easily create an art through a single bond, but it will be based on a journey is default set. However, you can easily modify that based on design style that you like or want in our artwork. You can consider design cells such as artistic sketch style or historical. Styles, include different locations and environment in your art design. Let's see few examples so you get better understanding of it. Here are few examples of artistic styles. There are two examples of sketch styles. Here are a few example for history styles. Here's few examples with different environments. You can even add different emotions in your designs such as these. We can also add different color theme in an image in which we could describe particular or a set of colors, such as this. Let's try to create a new image from each exam by different examples that I showed you earlier. See what Jenny proteases. We are going to include border, color from artistic style team, 1950s from historic style, theme, pastel from color, theme, and better from expression. And at last, we are going to include cloud forest as our background or environment. As you can see that magenta has produced and unique style from those combinations. In future video, I'm going to discuss in-depth about a topic called multi prompts, where you will learn how you can give importance to certain elements in an image. So Magendie produces exactly what you want it to. Gender. 8. Prompt Parameter Guide: Hi guys. In this video we're going to discuss in-depth about my journey prompt parameters are first, we are going to discuss batch desk ARR aspect, which is the aspect ratio of your ML that magenta it generates. By default, the aspect ratio of my journeys are nice to have it is in square shape. However, you can change that based on your needs. E.g. we can choose to use three is to two aspect ratio, which displays in horizontal or landscape images. Or we can toast you, do is to three f patricia, which displacing vertical or portrait images. Let's look at how we can use this parameter now run. As usual, we're going to type in forward slash. Imagine. Then our prompt. Besides that, we are going to add dash, dash, ER or aspect. These to do. Since I wonder imagine horizontal. Let's look good that is. And see how it generated. As you can see, the generated images are in three-to-two aspect ratio. Hope you get the idea and implementing our image generation. Up next, It's dash, dash, test and test B. These are actually made journeys testing models. I want to show you guys the difference so you can better understand them. So we're going to type in both the parameters beside our prompt and see what the results may generate. And as you can save the test, it sort of looks more like an artistic style. Whereas with that SP, the images, it looks more photo-realistic. So if you want so sort of like a stock images, you can try it SP and see results. Another thing to notice with test and SP on the donee supports today's to-do and do is to three aspect ratio, which is the max that you could choose. And you will get only one image as output when you use it without any aspect. But I've entered, that is if you use default, the aspect which is one is to one. But if you use Aspect Ratio, aspect parameter, you will get a result of two outputs or image generation. Up next, we're going to discuss about dash, dash creative, which can only be used to besides test and SP parameter. We will try by using it with and without test parameter and see the results so that we can get a better understanding of it. So as you can see, this is a result generated with the parameter. As you can see, the image has an artistic style to it. Whereas the creative parameter, besides the test, we can see that magenta has taken control over the creativity and added, but that looking details to the images. So that's the difference between NADH using creative and using creative parameter bizarre test and SP better emitted up next is dashed as stylized. We could use this to stylize our image, or you could say to make our image more extraordinary. The default way in a way from different Magendie versions. However, since we are using a journey for the range for it is 0-1 thousand and the default value is 100. The more the number of value is, the more unique and different it will be from your, from like these examples. This is how you can use this parameter besides your prompt by typing in dash, dash, yes or stylize and value and extra training 0-1 thousand. Alternatively, you can even set the default style option for your image through forward slash settings. Don't have to keep typing in the parameter everytime agenda to image. Up. Next, we're going to discuss about dash, dash. Now, with this parameter, we can eliminate negative elements that we don't vote in our image. This parameter as usual, by typing in forward slash imagine, and then prompt. Beside it, it will be dash, dash. And next to it will be the subject that you don't want in your images. In my case, I don't want to include the tracing the image. So let's see what my journey produces. As you can see from the results that are almost non-existent except few bushes, which we could easily eliminate by using photo editing software such as Photoshop or free alternatives such as gamepad, Krita. Up next we're going to discuss about dash, dash q, which is about the quality of an image. By default, the quality is set to one in my journey for. However, on the older versions you can go up to two. Note that the higher the value, the more time it takes to generate any maze by my journey. We can use this in our problem. We're going to type the prompt as UDL can be that it will be dash, dash q and the value next to it will be running 0-1. Here's what, Jenny, for different quality. The left image that you see has a quality of one and the right image that you see has a quality of 0.25. As you can see, the intricate details and high definition is more in quality when compared to quality zero point to fight. So I hope you guys get the idea on how to use this. Dislikes to analyze. You can also read the default quality for you and image generation through for restless setting. Now let's get to know about does that say parameter. They say they're especially useful when generating an image with similar style or theme. E.g. we want this image in human art form rather than as a reward, but with similar or same. Stan. Let's see how it works. First, we are going to add a reaction to the image that will send by my journey. Where we can see many images. We'll scroll down to objects and find an envelope emoji that is covered or simply we can just type in such as envelope. You can easily find it and then you need to click on it. My journey then sends the message in private message the details regarding the image, which also does eat information that we need. We are going to copy that and come back to send message to meet journey. We're going to type in our ramped using forward slash imagine and then our text prompt. And we said it will be dass die seed and extrude that seed number value. By entering magenta will produce a result. And let's see what it comes up with. As you can see on the left, we got the image of a robot phase, whereas the image on the right side has a human face to it. The style and the theme is almost matching to that of an afterimage. Hope you get the idea and you can utilize it. Feel free to work around and try with some of your artworks. And I'm sure you will feel mesmerized by using this parameter. The next we are going to discuss is dashed as chaos RC. With this parameter, you cannot omit journey to produce an image with chaotic behavior. The chaos value ranges 0-100 and the default value is zero. We are going to use it beside our prompt using dash, dash, dash, dash chaos followed by zero to 100 value. The more value we choose, the more chaotic behavior will be in an image. Which means that the image will have more unexpected or unusual results. As we can see the results, the more value increases, the results are different. The chaos of 100 as the results that look for different from what kills off zero or 50 does look similarly. You can see in this result that all looks unusual as we go on. I have chaos. Where do you these were all basic parameters that you need to know to get started without our generation. Up next, I'm going to discuss a lower, I'd once parameters that Gordon non-zero image dendrites and capabilities. So let's go and do that. And I hope you guys understood all the basic than a meter that I experienced so far. If you still have any doubts, feel very Dawson Qian ethics and send me a message. I will never looking at those and help you out. 9. Advanced Prompt Guides: Hey guys, In this lecture video, we are going to discuss a few advanced problems that could help you improve our demand generation. In this video, we are going to discuss how we can create cool images through emails, prompts, and how you can improve and work around with it. So to use an image on Discord, we're going to click on the plus button in the message bar on discard. And then we are going to click on Upload File and choose our desired image. And then after that, you can open that image and click, Enter on the uploaded image, then copy the link of that image. After copying, we're going to type in forward slash. Imagine there's that image link and write some text prompts so we could customize it according to our ideas. I'll try this with neon, my brand color effect and see what Magendie produces results for us. As you can see, we got the result that made DNA produced based on our image and text prompt that map scale the first one and see it more clearly. Here is obscured, embed, it seemed squared cool. You can feel free to try it with different and unique text prompts and see what results you can generate with magenta. Up next we're going to try blend mode. With magenta. You can produce a combined image, 2-5 images like you see on screen, the combination of two images is Missouri are combined into one and the new piece of artwork is produced by mid journey. Similarly, you can see on the Aardvark beds three images that are combined into one. This process of combining can also be called as blending, hence that I'm blend. Let's see how we can do this. We are going to use these two images. We're going to type in forward slash and then blend by typing by, I mean, sorry, by clicking Enter, you will get the options to upload minimum to images that may select those two files and upload them quickly. There are other options as well. Let me go through quickly and before proceeding. As you can see, we can specify the dimension of output and that you are going to receive from a journey. And we've got portrait mode, square, landscape. So you can choose any one of these out of three. Perform this. I already mentioned another one which is you can upload up to five images and combine them into one. And let's see what Magendie producers from those two images that we uploaded. This is what Magendie produced. You can try this blend feature and see what you can achieve with the combination of your artwork. Up next, we're going to discuss about the mixed mode art prompt. You can turn on this remix more Bye. Typing forward slash settings. And by enabling it, you can get the option to make variation with similar or same image teams. With trimming from, you can easily change prompts and parametered soften image. This will take the gender composition or reference of air initial image and use it as a reference to create a new variation of it by adding in more details in the prompt and changing its aspect ratio. Here's what we got with the help of rhythmic mode. Now we're going to discuss the most useful one that is multi-pronged. As you can see on the left-hand vitamins, both can be called as hot dogs, but they both have different depth and meaning to them. You, when you are generating an image, they add eats and understand the prompt as one line and separates them based on the prompt characteristics that you add through commerce while creating. You might think of something but edge and it's different results in such cases, you can be more specific about that by adding double colon in a prompt. This helps understand that those are two different words with different meanings. Like in this example on the left image, the cupcake is considered as a single word in an illustration. Hence, it's displaying cupcakes. While on the right image, you can see that the cake and copper, two different subject in the illustration. Since we have used double colon in the middle, That's where my journey is displaying cake inside a cube. Let's see how we can use this multi-pronged feature. In our illustration. At first, we will normally write it as a single word and submitted. And on the second time we will submit it with double colon and see what Magendie produces. As you can see, we got our results from a journey. The first prong we typed in without the double colon, just the dog word. As you can see, there's just a photo of our dog. And here you can see the second one that looks more like hard as in effects in a dark image. Hope you guys get the idea and understand the concept of multi-pronged, by which you can do exactly what you wanted from my journey. Up next is prompt waits. With this prompt, you can give importance to certain elements of your MS based on your choice. You can use this immediately next to double colon, something like this. You can give it any value to this diagonal, understand the precedence of it. However, if you do not specify the weights, it will have always one as its default value. And it doesn't matter what font weight value. But you must make sure that the prom value, that EQ on the one. So this should be greater than the other, like e.g. as you can see on the display, the value on the one side is one, whereas on the other side, It's. Now, as I mentioned earlier, that you don't give any value, it will be set to default as one. So this will result in one on each side and will not produce any change in your results. Likewise, you can find the similar scenarios we spread on the image. You can also add a decimal points like decimal numbers like 0.0 by 1.5, etc. You can also add negative value to them, is you don't want something to run into our image. It works similar to the dash, dash know that I told you in previous lecture review. But instead of completely suppressing the subject or element, it will try to suppress it or do less importance based on the value that you need to make sure that the total value of all the weight values should be equal to the positive number or not lead to any negative number. Let's try with the prompt that I despaired and see what results we get from a journey. All you can see that regard our results here. I'll add in black as a gift the problems weight of four for the black color, which means the precedents are more importance is given on the black and white, most of it Florida flag that 19 cheered. Do it. So it's like a mixture of gray and white since we gave a negative value to it. How are you guys? Guard all the prompts proper me I mean, I'm disrupt properly. If you still have any doubts or any clarifications, please feel free to us. 10. Upscale the Image Further: Hey guys, Now that we got to know about me, Jenny and everything and Illustrator will continue further with scanning the image and adding more details and make it more refined. As you can see in the image, the image is not so accurate and look so looks blurry. As you zoom in you when the image size is competitive. So you can increase the size by upskilling IT further through solutions that provide further upscaling. They are both paid and pre-survey services available, so we'll try out both and see which one suits for your needs. So as you can see, this one is the first one that we that is most entrustable and also provides a backup solution. I mean, yeah. You can see the details are more, much more defined and much more accurate. As you can see, even more grasses are added or urine compared to the original image that we uploaded. We can even further up in Kelly four times and see what results we get. As you can see in this, it's much better. This time. Some details over here messed up, but you can improve that if you have Photoshop skills to rise. One of the best solution that you can use the scale for that. Let me talk about the pricing of this. This is three. This can be used for free as well. You can get up to 40 factor. It is permanent and if you want to use it for that, you can apply it to their subscription model. As you can see here. Or you can upload up to 25 and to define pixels. Further than that, you can upload the image if it's about that resolution. Now, got the next one is image to go.com with this also again upscale every image. This is showing you the interface. You can click on that scale image and choose the image that you want to upload. Like e.g. I want to click on it, upskill. And as soon as it's uploaded, you can click on start. It will start upscaling that image. These things take some time. So you need to have some patients while it's doing its job. Let us go through it's bland event. This is also a free software. I'm a free website, but there's a certain limitations. You can go through this. You can apply it to their plan and get more better results. Since to an audit done? Yeah. Notwithstanding, I guess let's download it and see how it's looking compared to the one that we already have. This is original one, and this is the one that we got high. As you can see in this, I have zoomed in my spot here. And you can see that we can zoom up so much clothes even with fulsome much in this general one. So that's the difference between these two. Yeah. You can try this also. If you are on a budget and don't have money to spend on upscaling additional x squared. If you have somebody you can invest in websites. I'm in software such as the epithelia. This is the best one by far when it comes to upskilling. And you can also read reviews and everything online. It has best reviews. It's yeah. You can see here the images are much more refined when compared to the original one. As you can see in this example. If you wanted to buy this, it is a bears John lifetime. They will only charge you once. I've done that donors your offer that you can use it for lifetime. You can also try a pre-trial and see whether it is based on your requirements. I have already installed a free trial and let's see, a demo set out late work. And yeah, one more thing to both, the free, free one. You can only upload one image at a time. Whereas through gigapixel, you can upload more than one simultaneously. Android, as you can see, this is an interface for V0 pixel. You can upload the image that you want to obscure. Skin, sorry. You can tweak the settings. Whereas with the stool that I mentioned, you can't do sustained benefit too. And you can upscale a CPU or a text or even more, I guess, with this C11 and benefit this request. Additional files to model. So let it download those files. Or image has been can I guess. Let me see. Yeah. As you can see, as we zoom in more on the original one, it gets more pixelated. The scale one through gigapixel, it is, it is having more refined detests difference. We can see the original image, the rock as pixel. One. Pixel. It gets quantified and smooth everywhere. So this is definitely helpful and useful for you and upscaling your images. You might not notice this difference when you zoom out, but it does help you when you like. I use it for printing purposes or for any other commercial purposes, I will attach a link for gigapixels, also, the other two EPS of three objectives that I mentioned in the description for you guys. You can directly click on the link and Chiquita.
